These are some of the things that individual units can do to participate in Scouting on the global level. Using the following as a guide, team-up with your International Committee to develop unique ideas where your Pack, Troop, Post, or Team can make an international impact!

1. Make sure all Scouts and Scouters of my unit to wear the World Crest #143 centered above the left pocket of the uniform, 3" below the shoulder seam, as a symbol of their membership in a world Scouting family.

2. Encourage my Scouts and Scouters to participate in the national jamboree of the Air (JOTA) amateur radio event, and the International Jamboree On The Internet the third full weekend of October each year .

3. Locate a local high school or college foreign exchange student who has been a Scout in his/her own country and have him/her share his/her scouting experiences with my unit members. Check with your local ROTARY Club.

4. Earn the World Conservation Award and encourage others in my unit to do so (Requirements in the Boy Scout Handbook). And/or seek out a joint conservation project with a unit in an undeveloped country and help those Scouts in their own country!
